A Modified Cycle Slip Detection Method with GNSS Doppler Assistance and Optimizing by Adaptive Threshold and Sliding Polynomial Fitting by Kezhao Li, Yunyan Shen, Xiaokui Yue, Yingxiang Jiao, Kai Wang, Zhe Yue, Keke Xu

“…The main contents are as follows: (1) compared with the MW method, the Doppler-assisted phase subtraction pseudorange (DAPSP) method that we proposed has no detection blind spot and can effectively reduce the influence of pseudorange noise at high sampling rates; thus, we replace MW by the DAPSP method to improve the detection accuracy. (2) An adaptive threshold model with root mean square (RMS) is established to effectively reduce the missing and false range detection of cycle slip. (3) The sliding polynomial fitting-assisted GF (SPFAGF) is carried out according to the satellite altitude angle. …”
